The Dessert Bar

Just a quick note to let you know that as of today I’ve finished my fundamentals work so you should expect more Patisserie related posts from Monday onwards!

For those of you who follow my pursuits and projects beyond this blog, you will know that I put together a High Tea for charity as part of the Highway Apprentice competition. The twist with the High Tea was that it featured… A dessert bar!

The dessert bar included:

Cupcakes (Four flavours – red velvet, vegan vanilla, coffee kahlua and double choc)
Jelly Slice (Recipe is on this website! But no one makes it better than my Step-Mum)
Meringues, marshmallows, licorice allsorts, wafers and FruChocs
Caramel Slice
Chocolate Balls
Macarons in four flavours by Pastille Petite Desserts (Even though I can make them, I left them to someone else for this event)
Chocolate Dessert Shooters
Cheesecake Tarts

and this centrepiece show cake:

Stay tuned over the next few days for:

- DIY tips on running your own dessert bar
- Hints and tips on how to make your own cake just like this one!

  3. I actually hired them from a event place in Adelaide called Sash Events. Eight jars to hire were $150.

  • Cupcake Phenomenon!

    Hi! My name is Monnie and I live in Adelaide, Australia. Thanks for stopping by my baking blog! I love cupcakes because they bring people joy - so they make me happy in turn. I have got everyone hooked on making and eating them and hopefully soon you will be too!

    My cupcakes have won first and second place in 2009, and first place in the 2011 Coonalpyn Show so you're looking at award winning cupcakes ;)

    I have my own dessert catering business, Cupcake Treats, which has been operating since 2009. If you're in Adelaide and want to order anything, contact me through there!

    Please leave a comment on one of the recipes if you use it (and links to photos!) I love to see everyones creations. :)

    xx Monnie
